Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Detecting a workflow termination. An object with embedded access control is sent to a next participant in a workflow, wherein the embedded access control is provided and enforced by placing a subset of access keys for individual content-parts into a unique key-map entry for each participant, wherein the object is a Publicly Posted Composite Document. A workflow termination is detected after failure to receive a confirmation token from the next participant after a specified condition is not met.
